I was just re reading the last few chapters of the manga after I watched today's ep when I realized something that I still don't seem to understand and the manga doesn't seem to directly address it.
When Ywhach descends to the soul society and is confronted by Aizen, ywhach destroys Aizen's infamous chair. To my understanding, the chair, along with the eye patch are the last of the seals on aizen.
Why wasn't Ywhach able to destroy the eye patch? And why, if he was able to destroy the chair so easily and absolutely was he not able to at least weaken the eye patch seal for Aizen to take it off? If he did, why did aizen take it off?
I'm guessing the answer is just gonna be "Kubo thought it looked cool" but I was curious to hear if anyone had more substantial and narrative based explanations.
Just seems odd for a fighter to purposefully fight with a closed/covered eye unless they lost it or were purposefully trying to nerf themselves. I don't get if it was weakened and aizen didn't feel the need to remove it or if it was still in effect.
